I have never seen one of these before. Looks like a modded blaster

hahahah looks like it has a 550 front end

 

[Shifty]

That is a strange one? Looks like it may have a lift kit on it....

 

[The Penguin]

Looks like an X2 and a Blaster had an illegitimate lovechild

 

[oxnard111]

maybe pjs made them?

 

[EvanB85]

Doesn't show up on Google... therefore it does not exist.


Gotta be homemade.

 

[Big Kahuna]

there was a company in the mid 80's that made those, remember pics in SPLASH.

Wow, really? I guess some engineer at Yamaha must have had "designer's block" until he saw one of these things. I can't believe how much they look like blasters, and before anyone knew what a blaster looked like.

I still can't find any info on them on the interweb though.

Maybe they use Kawi engines, but Kawasaki did not make the hull.
Still pretty cool!

 

[Big Kahuna]

those hulls look different than the ones I remember. may have modded them some.

Apparantly that is the older version,the newer one circa 1994 looks way different in the ad. The front looks more like a WR500 and the ad says 440,550,X2/650 components all bolt in.

 

[NW Lover]

WOW!! I gotta have them!! I called and left a message. Hopefully I can work a deal!!

 

[WFO Speedracer]

The hulls measure 96" long by 36"wide by 30" tall.The narrow width combined with the high seat location give the typhoon a distinctive motorcycle feel that lets you lean into turns for excellent handling. Thats straight out of the ad lol.

What as damn it. Post it.

I would like to ride on of those.hone:

Whoa there seem to be several configurations of that thing,that one looks rough.

 

[Idok]

looks like its freeride modded...check out the loop for seat grabs!


might be a beast with an 800 in it...

 

[Flat Brapp]

it looks like someone went to town on a 550 hull, so it prob still sucks

 

[waxhead]

They were made on a 650 kawasaki sx bottom hull
They looked cool a guy here had one in aussie

I think they handled as bad as a 650 sx as well

 

[waxhead]

Well the later ones were based on a 650 anyway
i remember reading an article on them
